The Bruins increased their conference lead to five points over second-place Pittsburgh by improving to 12-1-2 in their past 15 games.

About 2 1/2 minutes after Iginla's first goal, Rask robbed Mikko Koivu with a glove stop on a shot from in front. With Boston leading 3-1, he also made a right-pad save on Nino Niederreiter's shot from the left circle with just more than 2 1/2 minutes left in the game.

"Our goaltending has been outstanding all year, without question," Iginla said. "They give us a chance every night with big momentum shifts. We also feel as the game goes on, we can start playing physical to start taking over the game and try to wear teams down."

Loui Eriksson and Reilly Smith also scored for Boston, which beat the Wild at home for the first time after losing the first six meetings. The Bruins are 3-10 against the Wild, who debuted in the 2000-01 season.

"They were real consistent in how they played," Minnesota defenseman Keith Ballard said. "They've got good balance to their lineup."

Jason Pominville scored for Minnesota, which lost for the fifth time in six games.

Miller is 7-0-1 since being acquired from Buffalo. ... One of Backes' goals didn't reach the net.
